With humility and candor, artist activist Mary Fisher inspires us when, in her eighth decade, she creatively takes on disease, poverty, hunger, injustice, racism and the role of women.

Uneasy Silence tells her story of speaking truth to power while living with AIDS, journeying through cancer and surviving a near-death experience. Richly illustrated with 30 original mixed-media pieces of Mary Fisher's art printed in full color, the book is artistically striking. Both visually and narratively, her steady concern for The Other enables her to find the strength to stand up, speak up and make a difference, inspiring us to do the same.

Across the pages of this book, Mary Fisher bears witness with humor, courage, compassion and grace, conquering the uneasy silence we all know too well, showing the way to finally be heard and be free.
